Question

a pool has 130,000 gallons of water in it. it is being drained. water is being removed from the pool at a rate of 500 gallons per hour. write an equation for this scenario. after 125 hours how much is left? how many hours does it take until the pool is completely drained?

Answer 1

130,000/500=216.

1 hour per 500 gallons.

500 times x =130,000.

500 gallons in 216 hours will complete the drainage.

216-125=135.

It will take 135 more hours to drain the pool.
